What can Galaxy do?

Tasks Galaxy is best at, and when to use chat, tools, or the API.

Galaxy handles creative, research, and media work in one chat. It is strongest when a task is multi-step, uses an uploaded file, or needs a finished image or video instead of a text-only answer.

Tasks Galaxy is well suited for

• explain or compare a topic and write a clear reply
• generate or edit an image with GPT Image 2
• crop an image to a rectangle
• merge videos with none, fade, or dissolve
• search the web when the answer needs current sources
• run short Python in the sandbox
• load a skill and follow its steps
• keep related work together in a Project

Choose the right surface

Your goal	Best place to start
Complete a one-time or open-ended task	New task
Reuse files, instructions, or memory	Projects
Pick a model or tool yourself	Tools
Call Galaxy from your software	API
Let an MCP client use Galaxy	MCP

If you are not sure, start a new task. Use Tools when you already know the capability. Use API / MCP for developer access.

The agent may ask you to approve a plan or extra credits before tools run. Review generated media before you reuse it.
